Work in a beautiful place, surrounded by gorgeous products and clothing. They offer a very good employee discount. Most of the employees I worked with were wonderful people! You also get to switch what you are doing about every hour which is nice!

Cons

Long hours of being on your feet, and unfortunately I spent most of the time organizing the sales section which was particularly popular at our store.

I was a visual display intern at Anthropologie for three months. I loved every second of it. I felt even as an intern I was given lots of creative freedom and responsibility. The work environment in the store was great too, my mentor taught me a lot and allowed me to ask question and learn from him.

Cons

I wish it was easier to get a fulltime job within the headquarters in Philly.

Truly the only reason to stay is if you're there for the discount. If you're there to support yourself, good luck!

Cons

The pay is a joke. For such high end product, the pay should reflect what you're selling. The wage you get there is comparable to a fast food joint. Even worse in some cases! You are on your feet all shift and running back and forth through the store. Managers don't like to see you "just standing" so you constantly have to make yourself look busy. On call shifts will turn up on your schedule making it nearly impossible to plan out your week. Schedules are also sent out way too late and only give you a week of notice for your shifts.

Advice to Management

Listen, on call shifts are cruel and unusual. The fact that associates can have entire weeks with just on call shifts making up their schedule is a disgusting joke. There are associates who live off of these paychecks and it is ridiculously inconsistent and insulting. For the amount of work we do we should be fairly compensated. Thanks for the good monthly discount, but I would rather have a better paycheck.
